Gurbandi Giri Afghani Almond Kernels – 250 g

Before Californian almonds arrived in India, Gurbandi was the almond every Indian grandmother soaked and served to children every morning. Smaller, more aromatic and richer in oil than commercial almonds — Gurbandi Giri is a traditional Indian superfood.

What Makes Gurbandi Different:

• Desi Indian Variety — grown in wild terrains of Afghanistan and Himachal Pradesh
• Higher Oil Concentration — packs a higher proportion of healthy fats per gram
• Slightly Bitter Taste — a natural quality indicator from Amygdalin, a naturally occurring compound
• Thinner Skin — more permeable after soaking for better absorption
• No Bleaching — no chemical colour treatment unlike some imported almonds

Nutritional Highlights:

• Rich in Vitamin E — a naturally occurring antioxidant
• Good source of Magnesium — an essential mineral
• Healthy monounsaturated fats
• Good plant protein source
• Riboflavin (B2) — important for energy metabolism

Traditional Use: Soak 5 kernels overnight. Peel skin next morning. Add to warm milk with saffron and honey. A cherished traditional Ayurvedic morning ritual.

Storage: Airtight container, cool and dry. Refrigerate for longer freshness.
